The cogeneration industry in South Africa is still in a nascent stage of development in South Africa. The addressable market is estimated at 1,277 megawatts. Further penetration of the market will be driven by the rising costs of electricity, environmental concerns, and energy securities. Moreover, the changing business model in the mineral processing sector will impact how original equipment manufacturers and engineering companies approach their equipment designs. Engineering companies are starting to design furnaces that incorporate cogeneration systems. This study will focus on mineral processing facilities, as electricity accounts for approximately 30% of operational costs.
